you lean against the wall, your tormentors surrounding you, one of them holding you by the collar of your shirt, looking like he wants to punch you. He starts to raise his arm and hand to land the punch and your face contorts in fear.

Axel: "HEY YOU FUCKERS!!!"

Axel booms. It was odd to see Axel defending you since he was a bit of a delinquent himself but nonetheless, he was standing his ground for you.
